Wolves Boss Gary O'Neil Handed One-Match Touchline Ban For Improper Conduct

O'Neil was livid towards match officials after Wolves lost 2-1 to West Ham United last month, when they had a late goal disallowed for offside.

The 40-year-old will sit out Wolves' visit to champions Manchester City on Saturday.

An FA statement read: "Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O’Neil has been suspended from the touchline for one match and fined £8,000 following the Premier League fixture against West Ham United on Saturday, 6 April 2024.

"It was alleged that following the completion of the fixture, his language and/or behaviour in or around the match officials’ changing room was improper and/or threatening.

"Mr O’Neil admitted the charge and the sanctions were subsequently imposed by an independent Regulatory Commission."

Wolves are 11th on the Premier League table.
